Poetry

Corazón

A heart to some is served gleaming on a silver platter.

Others will deliver it shattered.

A heart is to be held with delicacy, 

and one wrong tug, 

leaves it shattered.

A heart can be picked up, 

covered up, 

and glued back together, 

but it's cracks will always remain. 

A heart will be afraid, 

to become yet again betrayed.

The next to bear the heart will be in pain, 

for when it wails, 

it will leave them drained.
